Sen. Ron Johnson: Holding the bill funding the FDA hostage unless the cruel sham that is right-to-try is added to it

Advocates claim that “right-to-try” laws help terminally patients by allowing them access to experimental drugs before approval, when, in fact, their purpose is to undermine and weaken the FDA and such laws strip legal and regulatory protections from patients using such drugs. Now advocates led by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) are making a new push to pass right-to-try by embedding it in the very law that authorizes the FDA to collect fees from companies FDA approval for their products. They might well succeed. Sen. Ron Johnson: Holding the bill funding the FDA hostage unless the cruel sham that is right-to-try is added to it David Gorski
